If I join the military as a JAG, I am required to serve there for four years. In the long term, I want to be a federal judge. However, will spending four years as a JAG hurt my chances of becoming a federal judge given that I will be four years behind in regards to clerking for judges compared to... Read more »
Maybe the best person to pose your question to could be a former JAG. But your question remains open for four weeks. Given the high regard for the program because of its selection process, many would see it as a strong accomplishment. Some might see the fact that you would probably be working with... Read more »
My neighbor and i reside in an HOA and feel we are being subject to undue scrutiny and baseless complaints from a couple who live on a parcel adjacent to ours but who do not have membership in the HOA. These people are causing needless problems complaining about us for really no reason, but are... Read more »
Send an email to Attorney James Allen Greer on this website, he is knowledgeable about HOA. IMO the neighbors that are not a part of the HOA do not have any standing to make complaint to the HOA.

I'm not sure what you mean. I'm guess you mean to have someone be a confidential informant and not pay? I'd need more details before I could answer this question.
I would like to change the laws of the municipality by placing it on the ballot for the upcoming elections.
You must find out whether your city has a process for petitioning to place a referendum on the ballot (also called initiative petition), and if so, what the petition requirements are (method, number of signatures needed, time restrictions, etc.). I would start out by calling the City Clerk's... Read more »
Does boot camp qualify the trial to be put on “stay” status?
A Texas attorney should advise, but your question remains open for two weeks. Until you are able to consult with a Texas attorney with time looming, you could check with the judge's clerk on your case. Based on your description, it sounds like a note of issue has been filed and that you may be... Read more »
Nevermind I deleted the details because I can't figure out how to delete the question

Ppl at dmv will not allow me to take test, without interlocking device. Last conviction 9.15.11 no where it shows this is required. Judge n commissioner say I’m clear n go test???
Not sure of your problem. But you need to try to get the License at another DOS facility. Otherwise you will need a very competent, and expensive, attorney to file an administrative action. That action could take at least a year, prior to appeals. Getting a blow meter for a little while... Read more »
The officers had pulled out of a road/driveway about 1/4 mile or so ahead of me. One pulled off to the left in a gravel spot and the other in a small parking lot by a stop sign. When I approached the intersection the first officer on the left turned on his lights. So I pulled over out of the way.... Read more »

Actually, this is no joke. Impersonating a federal officer is a very serious crime. You really should consult with a federal criminal defense attorney as soon as possible.
4 years ago I received a deferred sentence for a felony conviction. In June 2020 I received a deferred sentence for a new felony charge. Is this legal?
The answer to your question is "yes, it is legal." That is because you did not have more than one deferred judgment within the 10 years before committing the crime that led to you receiving the deferred judgment in June 2020. The relevant statute reads as follows:

i entered the open line while the opposite line was closed at work zone in Faribault mn then police officer stop me and got picture on my driver license, said to me we will send you a ticket to you mail? is it a serious ticket or warning ?
It sounds like the are citing you for something. They do not generally mail warnings to someone. You will likely receive a citation at the address on your license. It would be wise to speak to an attorney to see if you can keep this off of your record.
In the interview they said they will train you but I was there for 2 days and most of the employees were refuse to train me and then they just let me go for no reason
Your question remains open for two weeks - there's no guarantee that all questions are picked up. But you could try reposting under Employment Law, where you might have better chances of an attorney who deals with these types of situations seeing your question. This looks like it's more...

I work for the Feds. At my particular agency, local (Calif) leadership is contemplating rules for staff return to the office at the end of this month (August). We've all (<50) been telecommuting since mid-March. It's loosely being proposed that those with children... be permitted to... Read more »
Would it be discriminatory? Yes. Any time someone is treated differently than others, it is discrimination. Is it unlawful? No. Having children at home is not a protected class under any protective statutes.
What the employer is contemplating is lawful.
Good luck to you.
